Extra neck for small bears

Start with 8 discs of the same diameter as the discs you'll be using on the neck of your bear (there should be 10 discs for the neck joint in total). The quantity of discs might vary as their thicknesses are different; but as a rule, the height of the discs (stack together) should be lower than the diameter of the discs

Use craft glue (acetone based) to glue them together

Cut out piece of fur with the help of the pattern supplied (You will find that all of my patterns have a pattern to do this).

Cover all curve side of neck cylinder (made from the discs you’ve just glued together), with acetone base glue and wrap the fur piece till the fur almost overlaps at the ends.

Clip top and bottom of the fur to make it easier to glue it to the disc cylinder

About Me

My name is Monica Spicer and I have been designing and having fun creating bears since the early 1990's.
I have learned a lot in these past years and as much as I would like to travel and teach around the world, I find I'm not able to because of health reasons, so the next best thing is to share my knowledge with all of you through the wonders of the internet… :0)
These are the free 'on line tutorials' everyone has been asking for.
I've decided to list them here to make it easier to download whenever you need them, without having to email me and ask for them to be sent by email.
I do hope you'll find them useful and make your bear making a lot easier and enjoyable.
Please feel free to email me with any questions you might have, as I'll be only to happy to help you out if I can... :0)
